#28

It's getting serious. The Excellent 80's is up to #28 on the Top 80 Countdown of the most popular songs/videos of that era as voted on by a panel of one. If you were going to be a great movie in the 80's, it always helped to have a great song, and today's #28 song/video may have been better than the movie, which was called "St. Elmo's Fire." After all, the song did reach #1 on the Billboard charts in 1985 and was the biggest hit for the English musician by the name of John Parr.

#65

Though not his biggest hit, today's video that lands at #65 on my Top 80 of the 80's countdown is my personal favorite. It was a song that back in 1985 jump started my poor teen hormones into overdrive everytime I heard the lyrics or saw his hand on that stocking moving nice and slow. Don't tell me! That's right, with his American flag guitar, here's John Parr with "Naughty Naughty"

#65 "Naughty Naughty"
